- Demo Temporarily Unavailable & Playtest Signups Now Open - 22 September 2026
Hey everyone! I have some news I'd like to share about Burning Skies.Demo Temporarily UnavailableI'm temporarily taking down the Burning Skies demo to focus on the next phase of development.The game is evolving quickly, and based on some of the feedback I've received, I feel that the current demo may give players the wrong impression of what Burning Skies is becoming.Rather than keeping an outdated version available, I've decided to temporarily remove the demo while I continue working on the game.The demo will return once it's more representative of the experience I want to deliver with the final game.Playtest Signups Now Open!I'm opening up a Steam Playtest, where you can request access to try the latest builds, experience new features, and share your feedback as development progresses.Want to join the Playtest?Head over to the Burning Skies Steam page and click "Request Access" to sig…
- Burning Skies - Demo Update #6 - 8 May 2026
Hello friends, how are you guys doing? In-game weapon stats In this update, I’ve added a new weapon overview to the in-game menus, so players can now check the stats of each equipped weapon, including level, power, and more. I also changed the card layout to a square format, which I think makes the power-up screen look cleaner and more visually pleasing. Over the last two weeks, I’ve also been working on a new trailer for Burning Skies, since the previous one no longer represented the current state of the game very well. I’m also trying to improve the game’s presence on social media, since Steam discoverability can be very difficult these days. This is a smaller update, but I hope it helps make the game clearer and easier to understand. As always, please let me know what you think. Also, if you played the demo, leaving a review or sharing your feedback really helps with Steam visibility…
- Burning Skies - Demo Update #5 - 24 April 2026
Hello folks, the new update for Burning Skies is live! Over the last weeks, I focused on improving core systems, stability, and progression for the demo.

- 5,000 wishlists reached!!! - 16 April 2026
Hello guys, I just want to let you know that we just crossed 5,000 wishlists on Burning Skies! That number matters. It means more visibility, more reach, and a stronger launch ahead. For a solo project, this is a big step forward. Development hasn’t slowed down. Enemy behavior, wave design, and overall game feel are evolving fast. Each update is pushing the game closer to what it’s meant to be. Important reminder: Burning Skies Arcade will be retired on April 27. Add it to your library before then and it’s yours to keep. Also, all Arcade DLCs are currently free, so you can grab the full experience while it’s still available. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2290190/Burning_Skies_Arcade/ Thanks for all the support! Paulo
- Burning Skies - Demo Update #4 - 24 March 2026
Hello friends, how are you doing? In this update I've focused entirely on improving how enemies and waves behave, and I think I've made a lot of progress in this area. Enemies now don’t have just one formation. Some of them can appear in up to 6 different formations, adding more variation and depth to the game. Waves are now predetermined according to the stage progression. Thanks to the previous update, I can now better control which enemies spawn at each moment of the run, including cooldowns, formations, and more. This greatly improves the overall pacing. Before After There’s still a lot to improve, and I have many ideas I want to explore, but your feedback helps me decide what to prioritize next. As a solo dev, it’s not always easy to choose what matters most, so I really appreciate any feedback on the Steam community forums or my Discord server. Also, if you enjoyed the demo and se…

- 🔥 Burning Skies Demo – Coming December 9th - 5 November 2025
Hey everyone, After a long time in development, I’m finally excited to announce that the Burning Skies Demo will be available on December 9th! This project has been a huge part of my life for quite some time. I’ve spent countless hours building, testing, breaking, and refining every little piece to make the gameplay feel fast, chaotic, and satisfying — just like the classic shooters that inspired it. It’s been a tough but incredibly rewarding process, and I’m really proud of how far it’s come. The demo marks the first time players will finally be able to jump in and experience the chaos firsthand. It’s just a small glimpse of what’s coming, but it already captures the spirit of what I’ve been working toward: pure, high-energy arcade action in a world on fire. 🔥 Play the demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4054040/Burning_Skies_Demo/ 🚀 Wishlist the full game: https://stor…
